Building structure
Longjiang Bridge is a stone bridge with beam structure. At present, there are 39 piers with 40 holes, with diameters ranging from 9 meters to 13 meters, bridge width of 4.2 ~ 5.2 meters and total length of 480 meters. The pier is 6 meters high and boat-shaped. The length between the two diversion tips is 10m, and the pier is 3.3 ~ 4.2m wide. Six large stone slabs are laid as beams and erected at the top of the pier with stone railings on both sides. Liang Shi is 0.6 ~ 0.75m wide and 0.6 ~ 0.9m thick, and each Liang Shi weighs about 15t. It is located in Liang Shi. The total length of the bridge plus the approach bridge is over 700 meters. There are two solid stone pagodas with seven floors and six corners in the south of the bridge, one on the left and the other on the right. The tower is 5.05 meters high, and the relief of the tower body has the images of sitting Buddha, dwarf, lion and lotus.
Bridge maintenance
Longjiang Bridge has a long history. Due to frequent attacks by floods, hurricanes and tides, from the 23rd year of Jiajing (1544) to the 400th year of the Republic of China, many repairs were carried out, with an average overhaul once every 20 or 30 years. In the early years of Qing Daoguang, the beam tilted five doors and was rebuilt by the county magistrate Gao Songhe; In the 19th year of Daoguang (1839), Gao Songhe was planted again. In order to show their achievements, the local gentry once erected a monument to commemorate them and still stand by the bridge.
* * * After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people's government allocated funds for maintenance for many times, and the wooden bridge surfaces of the sixth, seventh and twenty-sixth holes were changed to stone bridge surfaces, which were broken in Liang Shi on 1962, and the county bureau of culture and education reported to the Ministry of Culture for timely allocation of funds for maintenance.
Since its completion, Longjiang Bridge has been as strong as ever after 893 years of wind and rain erosion and wave impact, shouldering the heavy responsibility of communicating people on both sides of the strait, which shows the superb bridge-building technology in ancient times.
Longjiang Bridge is now a provincial cultural relics protection unit, but there are few tourists because it is not equipped with tourist facilities. Haikou Town Government has listed Longjiang Ancient Bridge as the main cultural landscape of "rural tourism", which is connected with the surrounding Maitreya Rock, Yan Rui, Shuanglin Temple, Linzexu Ancestral Residence and Linzexu Park, forming a series of cultural landscapes. The town government plans to raise funds to improve the environment at both ends of Longjiang Bridge and build tourist facilities. I believe that in the near future, more and more tourists will visit the ancient bridge in Longjiang.
